Beginners and families would be better down the road at Obergurgl. The glacier was good but a big faff to get to. I think it took me over an hour to get there in the morning. The resort is high so the snow held up well considering this year, , has not been great in places. The town is as you would expect, chocolate box it is not. Lots of bars and restaurants though to choose from. None are cheap so factor that in. On the mountain too the restaurants were very expensive. We took a packed lunch in the end, which worked well and shared two meals between three 2 x adults 1 x child in the evenings, which was fine as portions are big. Plenty of buses included and only 20 mins up the road. If I went again I would go there on half board and visit Solden on a sunny day to head up to the glacier. You have to go up the funicular and walk 5 mins or so but well worth it. You will have to book too or get there early. Great Mexican food. We liked a beer in the Gizzly too. As a side note, steer clear of the escalator at the Giggijochbaan at busy times. Very dangerous, we were stuck two times in two days with people falling over and no way to stop the lift resulting in utter panic and chaos. Take the lift instead. Easy short transfer, great variety of high quality hotels and accommodation. Good variety of high up snow sure skiing. Ski all the way from the top of the glacier to the village in most conditions from December to March. Plenty of variety of mountain food and not a rip off like France or Switzerland. Apres has everything you need from rocking bars to cosy stubles and nice hotel bars. Not a pretty village but never bothered me. February 16, David from United Kingdom Starting with the positives: - Short transfer from Innsbruck Airport - Modern and efficient lift system - Well groomed slopes - Snow sure - Fantastic views - Ski 3 days which gives access to Obergurgl - Lively nightlife The not so good: - Not that much terrain - Not a picturesque resort - Long and spread out resort - Crowded lower slopes later in the day - Can be quite rowdy not really a family resort - No real difficult slopes For a short trip without the kids where you want to let your hair down it's certainly worth a visit. March 19, Daniel from Brazil I was there for a whole week at the beginning of March. Being an overseas visitor with previous experiences in big name ski resorts around the world, I was frustrated with this Austrian icon. Soelden caters basically for German, Dutch and Belgian visitors, plus locals, who come by car with friends and family. Very few Brits and Americans. People ski basically mid-mountain up, relying on two big gondolas that leave from the village base. Lifts — Soelden is absolutely busy. I had never seen such a crowded place! It took me almost 40 minutes to ride up a lift one day, and I am not talking about weekends, but a mid-week afternoon! And when I say crowded, expect the worst: ski crashes, people stumbling at each other, hurrying to place skis on gondola's racks, yelling at each other, children crying and so on. Looked like the end of the world! Politeness is not the rule here, and staff were totally passive. I remember that when I went to the glacier. When I got there I felt just so exhausted of the adventure in all those lift rushes on the way up that I had to rest a little before skiing down. But not even in that I succeeded, as there was a crowd taking pictures with the mountains in the back and disputing space. When it is cold and snowing, visibility is limited, forcing people to remain in the lower runs, worsening the already problematic crowd issue. Temperatures are always higher than announced. Trails are weird. Some blue runs are harder than reds. But they are clearly marked at least. It is essentially a busy road with a bunch of shops and hotels around it. In-mountain food is bad and expensive as expected. In-village restaurants are ok, nothing that will make you remember it later though. Rentals and lessons — prices vary a lot, so you have to do some research, quality is all the same. Yellow had the best value when I was there. Instructors are good, if you get one that speaks English you may be fine. Views — what I liked the most. Just breathtaking. I usually highlight the negative in my reviews so people can better manage their expectations. But I had a lot of fun there. I am not saying it is not worth going, but consider carefully other options before making this decision. If you already booked, ski a few days in Obergurgl to escape crowds. January 01, Jill Harris from United Kingdom We have been visiting Soelden on and off for over 30 years, with and without our family, and have seen enormous changes over that time. The ski area is huge, and we haven't found very many problems with lift queues once you get up to the Giggijoch ski area. But avoid 9. This year they have a new faster gondola so it should be much quicker, and the Soelden lift company seem to be constantly reinvesting in improvements to the lifts. Snow conditions are now good all through the season as they have super efficient snowmaking machines which cover virtually all the ski area, meaning you can always ski back to the village. Although, at the end of the day, the run down from the Giggijoch gets very busy. Once in Soelden, parking is free, a great plus for older skiers or families who don't want to take a last run down to the village. Skiing is extensive, with wide pistes suitable for all standards; a few black runs and many ways to get down the various slopes. Restaurants are plentiful and not too expensive. The village isn't the most picturesque, but we come down to Soelden to ski, not sightsee. Innsbruck is an easy drive away if you want a day off and we now get a 5 days out of 7 ski pass which means we don't have to ski everyday very useful at the end of January when at least one day is usually bad conditions. We will continue to return again, and again! We have, in the past, returned to 3 resorts more than once, so that we feel we have explored their full potential before moving on. As we get older we have become more particular about how well the resort meets our needs and the length of time researching them, the accommodation and flights etc has become more of a chore; so we are less likely to move on than we may have been in the past. As the people in this group are all amputees, they use Snowbikes Skibobs which we also use due to back and knee injuries that prevent us from skiing these days. The free bus that shuttles people from one end to the other gets overcrowded at peak times. You can leave your skis etc at the main ski-hire shop at either lift for a small fee; makes life so much easier! To be honest, the queue is quite fast-moving and never took longer than 15 minutes. From day 2 onward, after the weekend, there wasn't a queue. Once you get to the top of this lift the runs fan out with various options, one is to continue upwards to the Glaciers. The comments about the long length of time it takes to get to the glaciers are, in the main, due to a bottle neck, where all the people who came up from the Gaislachkogl end of the resort end up at the same point as you and there is only a chair lift to take you to the next section rather than a cable car. But once you get through this things speed up a bit. The pisted range is plenty for the average skier, we have still not done all the reds, and I believe the off-piste is good too. The entire lift system is modern and efficient, map and markings are good, snow quality guaranteed. Nearly all runs are above the tree level, so exposed if the weather turns nasty but they are lovely and wide, great for cruising. If you are a timid 2nd week skier, there are lots of gentle blues, most of which are actually on the glacier which is unusual, so even beginners get to ski high-altitude runs rather than the norm where blues are often stuck at the bottom near town! One minus is that when the weather is bad and the lifts to the glaciers close, the remaining runs near the main lifts do get crowded. The glaciers areas are so extensive that it's not until they close you appreciate just how many people are on the mountains. This happened once on our holiday but we never felt that it was too crowded to ski safely; we just made for a quieter area. Efficient, modern lift system, guaranteed good quality snow, two glaciers, rolling wide runs with lots of blues and reds. Skibob hire centre and facilities to leave equipment at lift depot. Night life if we want it, good standard of accommodation, convenience of lifts in relation to accommodation. Shops in the town, short transfer from Innsbruck airport, not over-run by English! It was a last minute booking at a chatered chalet. Location: Convenient flight into Innsbruck and a 1 hour 20 minute transfer to Solden. There are also train links from all major cities. Getting around: We stayed about 5 minutes walk from the Giggijoch gondola which was very convenient. It would not be so great if you are not staying that close and need to catch one of the free shuttle buses to get around. The buses run every minutes and there are 2 main gondola stations in the village. Shops, bars and restaurants are all along the main street. Lift system: Extensive lift system to access a reasonable amount of terrain! There is plenty of terrain accessible by 2 main lifts. Besides the first gondola from the base, it never felt crowded or busy. We never had to queue for more than minutes. All new lifts with covers to keep the snow and wind away. Terrain: Good variety to cater for everyone. Long wide open groomers, steep black runs and easily accessible off-piste. The main runs to the restaurants get crowded with beginners and lessons. Not many traverses which is good for snowborders. If the weather is poor and skiing at high altitude is not possible, there are very few lower slopes, which become massively overcrowded. On the plus side, the lift network is mostly new and very fast. The glacier skiing is fantastic: don't miss the World Cup slope at Rettenbach, or the chillout slopes at Tiefenbach where you can also find a great restaurant and sun deck. The views are also great, and on a sunny day the 20 minutes walk to the top of Innere Schwarze Schneid is well worth it. In the morning it's better to use the Gaislachkogl gondola instead of Gigggijoch, as it is significantly less crowded. All in all, it was a positive experience, but next time will choose a less 'maintream' resort to avoid overcrowding. March 27, David Hodges from United Kingdom Excellent resort, great variety of pistes, excellent lift system. Just completed 2nd visit. Off-piste is also very good. Try the Ribs. Both are efficient, although we encountered 15 minute queues at the Giggijoch at peak times. The skiing is extensive, and in good conditions, the runs back to the town are enjoyable, although the red run 9 crosses busy nursery slopes, 2 T-Bars and bizarrely two roads! The area above Giggijoch has good blue run skiing with plenty of variation on the routes down. As has been commentated elsewhere, there is a strange habit of placing piste markers in the middle of the piste as on Black 14 from Hainbachjoch , which is a hazardous practice when visibility is poor. The glacier skiing is excellent, although it takes the best part of an hour to get up to the top lift station from the town, and queues were such a problem on a sunny mid-morning that we baled out — the Einzeiger chairlift is a particular bottleneck, as there is no other route up to the cross-valley Gletscherexpress gondola. Once up on the glacier, the views are outstanding, and we found typically excellent snow conditions, and there is an enjoyable black run where the World Cup Tour starts every year apparently on the Rettenbach Glacier. There is an enormous but functional self service restaurant at the bottom of the Tiefenbach Glacier with a large variety of food on offer and sundecks which will no doubt be very popular in sunny conditions. Beware though, that there is only one route back from the larger Tiefenbach Glacier, which is a six-person chairlift, so queues will be common mid to late afternoon. The lift system, apart from the couple of bottlenecks mentioned, works well, and most key lifts are either gondolas or detachable chairs with hoods. A special mentioned must however go to T-Bar KarlesKogl on the upper part of the Rettenbach Glacier, which is only open in the Autumn, but with the drop off to one side must be a hair-raising experience! There appeared to be plenty of off-piste opportunities in the right conditions, although the snow base was early-season in nature with rocky terrain close to the surface at the time of our visit. The restaurants we tried were generally very good and typically good value. A particular favourite was the small Stabele Schirmbar at the base of the Stabele chairlift accessible via Red 11, Blue 30 or Blue 6 which served enormous burgers, although capacity inside is limited. Despite its reputation, the snow in Obergurgl was less good, and had clearly suffered from wind blown conditions, being on the East side of the valley during a predominantly North Westerly weather pattern. Nevertheless a great time was had with lunch at the Superb Hohe Mut Alm and a live band at the Nederhutte. For some of its constraints, we enjoyed Solden and it seems to provide enough variety to offer something for everyone. Snowsure: 4. Variety of pistes: 4. Off-piste: 3. Scenery: 3. Access: 3.
